The m ea­ sure, which grants the team power to call a strike of all 600 county workers, was passed with only two dissenting votes out of about 250 cast. The following evening the; first inform al fact-finding session was held between the county’s negoti­ ator. Joseph Kelly of T healan Associates, CSEA collective bar­ gaining specialist Harm on Swits, and the Public Employment Re­ lations Board appointed fact­ finder, Paul Prosper. Also present was the CSEA ne­ gotiating team headed by William Zippiere. According to a union source, no progress was m ade a t the meeting, but a network of communication was being estab­ lished which could be used to call a strike, if needed.

The disclosures led to a grand Jiuy investigation of Mr. Orow’s superior, Highway Superintendent Jo h n Cook, and to Mr. Cook’s tem porary suspen­ sion. Mr. Cook dismissed his depu­ ty in March, 1976, based upon th e recommendation of a hearing officer who h ad been found guilty of six out of 19 charges. Mr. Orow h ad been an 18-year civil service employee of St. Lawrence County. All five Albany Appellate Di­ vision Judges agreed there was no basis for th e dismissal. Mr. Cook was forced to make reimbursement for improper ex­ penses after an audit of the de­ partm ent. The Judges said his statem ent on the classified infor­ m ation to th e press were “pro­ tected by his right to free speech.” The audit followed Mr. Orow’s disclostures. Mr. Orow was also accused of releasing th e Information “for political purposes tc em barass the superintendent and discredit the departm ent.” The court said it did not “condone” the practice, but said it was not a valid reason for discharge. The other charges on which Mr. Orow was foimd guilty—all of which were also dismissed by the court—involved the purchase of supplies and equipment for the department.

CSEA Region rv public rela­ tions specialist Daniel Campbell charged th a t the county super­ visors who had given themselves 50 percent salary increases and had provided m anagement per­ sonnel with up to 30 percent hikes, would n ot grant raises to county worl^ers unless they agreed to diminish their benefits and increase their work hours. “If the county is offering you a 4 percent raise, they w ant you to pick up th e cost of 1/4 of your dependent health coverage, which equals 4 percent of your salary,” Mr. Swits said. “Or the county would give the workers a 4 percent raise if they would agree to abolish summrt- hours. Along with this reduction in coverage and increase in work hours, the County also w ants to do away with four pages of con­ tra c t provisions which protect employees,” he said. Mr, Kelly commented th a t th e county was ready to approve a pay increase but th a t the m atter of summer hours and health in ­ surance would first have to be resolved. Summer hours, he said, did not affect th e m ajority of County workers and were insti­ tuted before offices were air con­ C S E A r y L d o m t r i k g c a l ; e ditioned. Mr. Campbell responded th a t the county had done no studies to dem onstrate a real public need for the extra summrt* hours. He said there was a, “large gap in the area of money,” and th at there had been a “breach of confidence in m anagem ent” on the p art of the workers, “because they see m anagem ent getting pay raises w ith no decrease in bene­ fits.” Mr. Swits charged th a t Mr. Kelly, of T h elan ’Associates, the firm paid by the county to do its negotiating, “is not only attem p t­ ing to force the alleged county position b ut he is refusing to present the various counter-pro­ posals th e CSEA negotiating team has developed.” Mr. Kelly answered that, "the charge contemplates th a t the supervisors would be willing to withdraw those dem ands.” “The board has directed me to propose a standard office work­ week, 35 hours, year round. It sounds as if h e’s asking me to drop the county’s proposals,” Mr. Kelly said. “T h a t’s not negotiating,” Mr. Campbell said. He said th at not bringing a union counter offer back to th e County precluded negotiations.

Mr. Levitt is Insisting on an “iron-clad" federal government guarantee before purchasing city securities with the $9 billion in retirem ent reserve funds. The state comptroller is the sole trus­ tee of the funds. Using employee pension fimds is part of a plan suggested by some federal, state and city offic­ ials as th e best way to solve New York City’s fiscal problems. Mr. Levitt, speaking to an in ­ formal meeting of the Legislative Correspondents Association, a group of reporters covering the state capltol, said New York area politicians are trying to force him to invest funds in city secu­ rities. He said no one has come forward with a safeguard plan. The U.S. Senate Banking Com­ mittee, headed by Senator Will­ iam Proxmlre (D-Wls.) unanim ­ ously called for a halt to federal loans to the city. The committee said the City and S tate could use Tim e to Renew Your Subscription tfS H O M T B U S IW E ^ Leo Shull Publications 136 West 44 St., New York, NY 10036 • (212) 586-6900 □ pension funds an d other available money to keep the City from going bankrupt. Federal funds are no longer needed, said the committee. Although state and city resi­ dents aiHiear to be behind him, Mr. Levitt is apparently nm nlng Into trouble w ithin his own party because of his stand. A number of Democratic and Liberal Party officials are urging him not to seek reelection this fall. They re­ portedly prefer New York City Comptroller Harrison Ooldln, al­ ready an announced candidate for the statewide l>ost. This prompted Solomon Bendet, Civil Service Employees Associa­ tion Region n president, to sug­ gest th a t the Republicans nom in­ ate Mr. Levitt for the ccmiptrollier’s post. In a letter to S tate C30P Chairm an B ernard M. Kilboum, Mr. Bendet, an avowed opponent to the pension investing plan defended Mr. Levitt’s stand and declared th a t th e 77-year-old comptroller was too valuable a public official to lose. Mr. Kiliboum replied, recently, saying he agreed w ith Mr. Levitt on th e pension controversy but stopped short of saying he would urge his fellow OOP leaders to nom inate him. “The Republican Party has a number of outstanding possible candidates for comptroller, and certainly no one would be con­ sidered for this sensitive post who would not be complietely tru st­ worthy to protect the funds of your members and the S tate’s employees,” Mr. Kllbourn wrote.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1978 P r a is e D eserved W E have heard so m any tiresome com plaints about the socalled laziness and indifference o f civil servants th at we have grown weary. Too often, civil servants are rated as overcompensated, underworked and pampered. Public employee unions are som etim es blamed for just about every ill th a t befalls a com m unity. This explains, perhaps,, the attitude th a t prevailed when em ployees from New York City and other agencies and locals across the state were forced to .su ffer more th an anybody else during the fiscal crises created by budgetary misdeeds of years past.^When workers were laid o ff their Jobs because public treasuries were low, we heard too often from m any people th at the victim ized employees deserved their fate since they had rarely worked for their pay. It is refreshing, occasionally, to hear a different tune. It happened during the recent snow storms. Sanitation workers, who put in m any long and difficult hours to clear roads and highw ays during and following the severest storm s since the Day After Christmas snowblast of 1947, received w ell-deserved praise from m any public officials. New York City’s relatively rapid recovery was due primarily to its hard-pressed sanitm en. Workers from m any other com m u­ nities across the sta te cam e to the aid of hard-hit Long Island and did w hat officials called a m asterful job. We hope the public image of public em ployees has som e­ what changed for the better. They certainly deserve that, to say the least. (H.A.T.) V ic tim s O f The (Continued from Pare 1) invested In New w ithout proper firm guarantee employees th a t those funds will with. M e m b e r A u d it Bureau o f C irc u la lio n i PublUhed every F rid ay by S ta t e t ’NTIL now, we have kept our silence over the outcry fol­ lowing the alleged inhum an dum ping o f former m ental patients. Even though the controversy has become the battle cry of the Civil Service Employees Association, we felt it was wiser to withhold com m ent until tim e perm itted a careful analysis of the problem. We now find it necessary to side w ith critics o f the pro­ gram state officials call deinstitutionalization. We believ.e deinstitutionalization, w ell-intended as it may have been, is a sham perpetrated on the public. M ental Hygiene workers and, above all, on the patients. Under the program, officials have proved to be overeager to release a patient before he is ready to face the outside world. This is the real tragedy o f the issue. R esidents o f com m unities where the so-called dum ping occurred also have the right to be up in arms, since the policy affects their lives and com m unities. But the real victim s are the patients. True, m ental patients should be returned to regular com m unity living as soon as feasible. T hat should be part of their recovery program. But dum ping them is merely changing them from wards of the state to victim s of the state. The Governor and legislators should be aware of citizen views on this issue. We urge readers to send them letters and telegram s expressing their views. J W IL L B E York City bonds collateral is a to civil service their rights in not be tampered The Comptroller m ade his statem ent to McQowan a t a m eet­ ing also attended by Solomon Bendet, president of CSEA Region n , and by Jam es R o ^ e r , CSEA counsel. The Comptroller’s position is th at he owes a fiduciary obliga­ tion to civil service employees, who are relying upon hUn to pro­ tect the pension funds. T he gam ­ ing tables a t Las Vegas are hardly th e kind of Investm ent a trustee should make of trust funds. ’The same applies to New York City bonds. $100,000,000 Loss While an investment in city securities is far from a gambling risk, it would nonetheless be an im prudent tiling for a trustee to do with funds belonging to others. The fact is th a t city bonds are volatile. For example, an unfor­ tu n ate release of a report of the UJ3. Senate Banking Committee caused Big Mac bonds to drop more th a n $100,000,000, accord­ ing to Felix Rohatyn, chairm an of the Municipal Assistance Cor­ poration. Fortunately, no state pension funds are invested in Big Mac bonds so the funds su ff^ e d no losses as a result of this break in the m arket. New York City Comptroller Harrison J. Ooldin has taken a sim ilar position on investing state pension funds in city securities. Mr. Ooldin is testing the waters for a possible prim ary contest against Levitt for the Demo­ cratic Party nom ination for th a t office. Senator W illiam . Proxmire of Wisconsin, who Is principally re­ sponsible for th e Senate Banking Committee report, has taken the position th a t federal aid to the city is not necessary if. among other things, state pension funds are invested substantially in city securities. Obviously the Senator lacks an appreciation of th e re­ sponsibilities of a fiduciary and has no understanding of state civil service employees’ opposit­ ion to any such investment. U.S. Can’t Lose The federal government has earned a $40 million profit on the seasonal loan program to the city th at expires th e end of June. Moreover, the federal govern­ m ent has adequate collateral, to use Comptroller Levitt’s phrase, to cover the loans it has ex­ tended to the city. U nder the law authorizing those loans, the federal government may withhold from th e city, in the event of the city’s default, all funds due the city under any federal program. There is no way the federal gov­ ernm ent can lose by extending th e program, or by guaranteeing long-term bonds of the city. S tate pension funds would have no such security. It is the height of folly to even suggest investing those funds this way. DAMMED i n 6 0 . DOCKED IF IDOIIT ^ C i v L a i l S w e r v & Y i c o e u By RICHARD GABA M r. Gaba is a member of the New York Bar and Chairman of the Nassau County Bar AaBOciation Labor Law Committee. R u l i n g O v e r tu r n e d Petitioner began to work for th e respondent, Town of Greenburgh, in 1973 in the Departm ent o f Public Works. In July 1974 he was discharged after a scuffle' w ith a co-worker. Two weeks later, however, he was reinstated w ith­ out back pay. He was not returned to his former position as a m eter reader but was m ade the sole relief operator at the tow n’s water pum ping station. On his second day at the water pum ping station a fire started in the basem ent and caused substantial dam age. It had been established, after a thorough investigation, that the fire had been deliberately set by an arsonist. The peti­ tioner became the only suspect because all doors in the building were locked and officials reasoned he set the fire to revenge his recent discharge. The Greenburgh Public Works Com m issioner directed petitioner to take a lie-detector test or face im m ediate dis­ m issal. He refused and soon after was served w ith written charges alleging th a t petitioner had wrongfully assaulted a co-em ployee, th at he either com m itted' negligence or arson that resulted in the fire, and th at he wrongfully refused to subm it to a lie-detector exam ination as part of an official investigation. A hearing pursuant to Section 75 o f the Civil-Service Law was held and it was determ ined th a t all three charges had been sustained. Based on the charge relating to the fire and the refusal to take the lie detector test, the hearing officer recom m ended th a t he be dismissed. The petitioner com m enced a proceeding pursuant to Article 7 of the Civil Practice Laws and Rules to review the findings and determ ination o f the hearing officer. The Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second D epartm ent, held th at the tow n’s determ ination was not supported by sub­ stantial evidence on the record and ojrdered the petitioner reinstated. •The court also said th at petitioner clearly could n o t be guilty o f both arson and negligence. Indeed, the record clearly showed th a t he properly m aintained the security of the building and, hence,, a finding of gross negligence was unjustified. In addition, a finding, even circum stantially, th a t petitioner him self was the arsonist, lacks substantial evidence on the record. The mere fact th a t the petitioner was the only person who was supjposed to have been on the premises at th a t tim e is not enough to throw suspicion on him. The court also noted th at three other m en possessed keys to the premises and th at there had been two other suspicious fires at th is facility before the petitioner began to work there. • • • WITH RESPECT to th e charge o f w rongfully refusing to subm it to a psychom eter lie-detector test., the court con ­ cluded th at the petitioner was justified in refusing to take the exam ination. The court referred to Dolan v. Kelly, 76 Misc. 2d 151, 348 N.Y.S. 2d 478, where th e court held th a t a public servant m ay be discharged for his refusal to subm it (Conthined on Page 7) R By PAMELA CRAIG THE PLACE: Office of Drug Abuae Services. Ihfanhattan QVESTiONt The Leader ha* been concerned with a*»«mlt» agabut staff in Mental Hygiene Centerg, What are tome of . the problems in other areas that you would like to see discussed in print? M arty Thompaon, assistant director, in-patient services: “We have been given money for m inimal staffing and this forces us to be deal> ing with crisis situations only. We end up controlling and dealing w ith crisis, rath er than tre a t and be able to be agents of change in the lives of oiu* patients. O ur staff is very com­ petent; yet whatever we do, w ithout further staffing we cannot m eet the needs of these people. For 120 residents we have one recreational worker. Perhaps, whoever meule the model of the program as it presently stands has unrealistic ex­ pectations or inadequate knowledge about what treatm ent really is. We are a locked facility within 24-hoiU' duties and have custodial functions as well as treatm ent.” Ray Edwards, drug abuse treatm en t supervisor: “I feel th a t in order to rehabil­ itate the drug addict, more em ­ phasis should be p u t on the re­ direction of values. The pa& tients should be exposed to things th a t will bring about a transference th at will create positive ‘stimuli and change their lives for th e better. The drug addict is constantly re­ minded th a t he is a drug ad­ dict. If we had proper fimdlng, we could have the staff to provide the positive therapy. W ithout funding, we are reduced to pro­ viding custodial care with little rehabilitation. If you do not rehabilitate, you will foster a revolving door with a dozen agencies overlapping their functions and providing little help for a growing problem.” Robert W etter, drug abuse treatm ent specialist I: “The drug abuse treatm ent of New York state residents has been severely damaged. The agency has been cut by 75 per­ cent, causing the reduction of staff. The positions here are often defined as very narrow; so when the workers were laid off, they were n o t eligible to work hi comparable Jobs. You have a situation where a large group of highly trained indi­ viduals who were laid off from their state Jobs were unable to get supervisory Jobs. They were skilled adm inistrators, yet they were ineligible for comparable Jobs in other state agencies. The civil service status is meaningless if there ar^ no com­ parable positions.” Virginia Napier, account clerk: “I feel th a t funding of th e agency needs to be ex­ posed. I work w ith th e residents’ money. This m eans aftercare for when they are released. W hen the state aftercare pro­ gram was started, tran sp o rta­ tion was 15 cents. W hen the patient goes out on pass, he is given $2.00 to cover carfare and lunch. Inflation has caused the cost of food and transportation to rise; yet the resident is still receiving the initially funded $2.00. We need to know how to cut down in some areas where money is less im portant in order to cover an Increase in aftercare. How can they look for jobs on $2.00 a day?” Frank Carriero, m aintenance supervisor: "I guess th e only thing worthy of print is the need of large projects completed by other agencies forced by bureaucracy to push the projects farth er and farther back on the calendar. For over a year we needed our roof re­ paired by the Office of General Services. We also have water leaks. They use outside con­ tractors and the time it takes Is endless. When the roof leaks in a classroom, we are only able to patch it up. We end up patching up every time on our own but the patch falls down again. They may have problems getting funding for more im portant things, but it still rem ains a nuisance here.” John Rademaker, account clerk: "T he treatm en t and care of th e residents of this agency will suffer because the workers who operate this fa­ cility are n o t on a perm anent basis. They do not know from one day to the next whether they are to be laid off. They are concerned about th eir own fa­ milies. This agency has been cut by 75 percent and, with this in mind, it is hard to perform efficiently. T here are other problems, as when the staff here is laid off they are unable to find comparable Jobs w ithin other state agencies—because of the narrow definition of their type of Job.” N E E W T IR S E & M F E A N C T T S • y A.

W hat would be accompliahed by auch a vote ia th a t the membera of the CSEA would have voted to change their nam e to PEF. Would auch a nam e change make a union more democra­ tic th a n it already Is or even make the gripers more will­ ing to participate? I t will, how­ ever, collect th e aame Agency Shop fee th a t the CSEA and other bargaining agenta col­ lect for their servicea. The letter-w riter alao aays th a t the Governor decides w hat he wanta and the CSEA decidea w hat it w ants. This ia w hat negotiations are all about. Otherwise the Governor would decide w hat he wants and there would be no argu­ m ent. Since the union does take p art in these negotiations, however, Ita poaitlon la determ ­ ined by the viewa of th e mem­ bers—subm itted through let­ ters or arrived a t In m ember­ ship meetings. In negotiationa, generally speaking, neither side gets all it wanta a t one time. I t may even take a couple of con­ tracts to even thinga up. R ank- and-file CSEA members are elected to participate side by side with professional staff peo­ ple in arriving at contracts. When there are deadlocks, then arbitrators, th e Legislature and even the courts may have to be involved. The lette^-w ritor ia right about one thing though: “the Agency shop has run goats into (the union) flock.” S o c ittl S e c u fitv Q.

There are, however, purely clin ical approaches whicl could Increase th e chances th a t Ms. Aviles an d everyoni in th e institutions, sta ff and clients, will n o t be hurt. For exam ple, Gabriel Koz, director o f M anhattan Psy chiatric Center, feels th a t the greatest deterrent is grouj pressure, the knowledge by th e p atient th a t if he were assault a sta ff member, th a t action would be “frowned on' by everyone involved w ith the hospital. He described, “a whole beautiful therapeutic experi ence,” w hich, if achieved, would drastically reduce sucl problems as assaults because o f group pressure and becausf th e tensions, w hich operate when the atm osphere on a war( is less th an perfect, would be elim inated. “L et’s say we took three or four therapy aides, threi or four nurses, and we set up a unit where people were con tented; they were well m otivated; th ey liked their work th ey were well led. You could bring alm ost an y psychiatrli cross section . . . and this sort o f th in g (assaults) would b( at an absolute m inim um ,” Dr. Koz said. Rochester Psychiatric Center director Russell Bartoi responded: “I ’d like to know his views on the Easter Bunnj and Santa Claus.” “W hen you’ve got a m ass o f paper work to be done w hen you’re short-staffed, do you ever get the tim e to con trol or contrive the atm osphere? It just doesn’t happen.” Nilsa Aviles sat outside the nurses’ station talking w ith two patients, m en in their early tw enties. One explained th at he w anted to marry another Bronx Psychiatric Center patient and asked Ms. Aviles, a therapy aide, w hen he should stop m asturbating. Another young p atient approached, announcing th a t he was the gestapo. He ordered the m en to leave. Ms. Aviles said they could stay. “D on’t you know sh e’s vom iting all over you?” he shouted. He lunged for the wom an and knocked her to the floor, beating her face w ith his fist. One o f the other m en dove on the attacker and tried to hold him in a bear hug, as the third patient ran for help. “I ’m very frightened about going back to work a t this place,” Ms. Aviles said soon a fter the attack. “Every tim e I think about it I cry. But I c a n ’t leave because I have a fam ily to support. People talk about p atien t abuse, but not about abuse by patients against workers. These institutions are hard as hell to work a t.” She was out o f work for about a m onth, and paid m ost of her own m edical bills, w hich am ounted to several h u n ­ dred dollars. According to Ms. Aviles, the patient who a t­ tacked her has been discharged. Part o f th e problem on the ward where she was hurt was th at no m ale workers were assigned.

The resident discussed is still at the facility, although his transfer was recom­ mended in Ausvst. -''ej T he idea o f a perfected therapeutic environm ent reduc­ in g assaults aga in st sta ff is basically a sound one, Dr. Barton said: “Like M edicaid and Medicare, m arvelous ideas, but w hen th e patients aren’t gypping it, th e doctors are; but it’s a m arvelous idea.” Craig D evelopm ental C enter director Nadine Hunter, agreed th a t the problem o f assaults again st sta ff could be “drastically reduced,” if the right therapeutic atm osphere were m aintained. Like Dr. Barton, she felt th a t there will alw ays be som e incidents because o f th e nature o f the work. B ut it m ay be a long tim e until there are funds to provide adequate staffin g , effectiv e training, w ell-designed facilities, and everything else required to reach th a t level o f perfection. U ntil th en . . . “We do the best we ca n ,” Dr. Hunter said, “up to the Umit o f m inutes in the day and th e num ber of em ployees we have.” A problem in perfecting the system to th e point where assaults against sta ff are m inim ized is th at, according to Alvin M esnikoff, New York City M ental H ygiene regional director, “We are trying to do several th in gs w hich are contradictory.” T he goal is to rehabilitate people. There is also a need for security. “You can run a secure place by locking every­ body up . . . but th a t doesn’t deal w ith th e problems o f re­ h abilitation and treatm ent,” he said. A balance m ust be established where patien ts are free to express feelings and yet are restricted from hurting them ­ selves and others. “I think we c a n m ake som e m arginal gains in the selection o f em ployees and training, in better leadership and weed out the ones who aren’t good,” Dr. M esnikoff said. He cites these other increm ental steps: the discharge to alternative settings o f patients who do n o t belong in hos­ pitals; th e establ^ hm ent o f carefully used secure settin gs for episodes o f disruptive behavior; effective use o f m edica­ tion, and encouragem ent o f com m unication betw een p atien t and sta ff. “But w hen w e’re struggling to ju st m aintain a nurse on a ward overnight, there’s a problem,” Dr. M esnikoff said. Progress toward the ideal atm osphere where morale is high, everyone is involved, and patien ts are being rehabil­ itated, would, in Dr. M esnikoff’s view, require the sta te to tap the strengths o f the voluntary hospitals and m edical schools. “I don’t think we can do it alone,” he said. In New York City, the sta te is a large provider of acute care. A cuteness and disruptive behavior are related. Dr. Mes­ n ik off’s plan would result in th e city, sta te and voluntary facilities sharing the burden o f acute and chronic care more evenly. T he expectation is th a t people would be better served If, in each com m unity, the m ental h ea lth facilities were inter­ related and available to all, regardless o f whether hospital or agency sponsorship was private, sta te or city. For exam ple, M anhattan P sychiatric would be divided into perhaps ten treatm ent areas, corresponding to geogra­ phic com m unities in M anhattan. City and state hospitals and other agencies would share responsibility for the m en­ tal h ea lth care o f people who lived in their com m unity. A person needing care m ight be adm itted to a local hospital or to h is com m unity’s area o f M anhattan Psychiatric. T he advantage to those being treated would be less anonym ity, less chance o f being lost in th e system , or dum ped w ith no follow -up care. T he hospitals and agencies w hich shared responsibility for th e p atient while he was at M anhattan, would continue th eir involvem ent after th a t p atien t was discharged. Such a system would pr(^ably m ean an im provem ent in w orking conditions for sta te em ployees. First, w ith private hospitals and m edical schools involved, improved training could be expected. There would also be a greater variety o f p atients and opportunities w ith w hich workers could becom e involved. Most im portant, hijgh-risk assaultive patients would not be concentrated in the state facilities. At som e upstate h os­ pitals, such a s Marcy P sychiatric Center, near Utica, where there is a deep sense o f com m unity, th e level o f assaults "T h e thing th a t b o th ers m e is th a t w e b eco m e v e ry c re a tiv e in our a d v e rs iv e approaches and v e ry lax in our p o s itiv e approaches to aw ard in g a p p ro p ria te b eh avio r."

But th a t d o e s n 't d e a l w ith th e p ro b lem s o f re h a b ilita tio n and tre a tm e n t." C#3 M DR. A LVIN M E S N K O FF New York City refional director, Departmeni of Mental Hyciene > again st sta ff is m uch lower th an in New York City in stitu ­ tions,, where there is greater anonym ity. E stablishm ent o f th e kind o f ideal therapeutic atm os­ phere, w hich Dr. Koz and others see as a way to m inim ize assaults, seem s more likely in a com m unity-based system . Olive P itt h as been a head nurse at Bronx P sychiatric Center for the last four and a h a lf years. During th a t period she has been assaulted and seriously injured three tim es, m ost severely three years ago, w hen an adolescent gajshed her over the eye w ith a soda ca n tab. She suggested th a t separate wards for adolescent p a­ tien ts m ight reduce the assault problem, because th e adol­ escent patients, she said, tend to be the m ost violent. Ms. P itt and other Bronx Psychiatric C enter workers told stories about chronically ill patients in th eir 70’s being beaten by adolescents who live on the sam e wards. A sim ilar problem was also m entioned by Santo DeVito, president o f the Civil Service Employees Association Local a t Syracuse D evelopm ental Center, where he said th e m ixing o f aggressive young clien ts w ith old people h as created IM ^blems. Syracuse deputy director, Chuck Soper, responded th a t a particular adolescent resident who used to a ttack everyone, including sta ff, now on ly “teases and som etim es physically attacks, not severely . . . th e older clients on th a t u n it.” The problem w ith separating th is clien t from th e older people, according to Mr. Soper, is th a t th e m an functions a t a high level and should soon be returned to th e com ­ m unity. Elim ination o f th e assaultive behavior toward old people m ust be accom plished before th e clien t is released. But he could not lea m th a t lesson on a unit w hich did not .in clu d e old people. “He has to learn to a ct appropriately w ithin a group th a t h e ’s going to encounter in the com m unity,” Mr. Soper said. Dr. M esnikoff offered another reason why it m igh t not be best to segregate adolescents: “You take all th e violent people and put them , together, you have a real problem on th e ward. You have a culture o f violence. If you p u t the chronic patients together th en there’s no stim ulation.” One solution Is to have clien ts live together, integrated according to the com m unity from which they com e. This provides the kind o f stability w hich Dr. M esnikoff described in the plan to interrelate all facilities and agencies accord­ ing to com m unity and regardless o f sponsorship. However, the clien t could spend his days in programs exclusively w ith other adolescents, or w ith others who have sim ilar problems. At Bronx P sychiatric a special program is being de­ veloped for the 16-to-18-year-old group. They would not be m ixed w ith older clients. T he value o f integrating clients, and having them react to th e m ixture o f people will be lost w ith such an arrangem ent. But it m ay cut down th e num ber o f assaults against s ta ff and other patients. T he atm o­ sphere resulting from th a t change could only en h an ce therapy. One final clinical consideration. A director, who asked n o t to be nam ed, said th a t he would support th e “judicious use o f adversive stim uli.” “T hey are com pletely harm less electric stim uli. F righten people. B ut because o f th e em otional connotation—^people call it a cattle prod—we are not using it,” he said. There was no support for such a proposal from other directors Interviewed. Mr. Soper said, “The th in g th a t bothers me is th a t we becom e very creative in our adversive approaches and very lax in our positive approaches to aw ard­ ing appropriate behavior.” He suggested th a t reinforcing positive behavior would be a more effectiv e approach th an punishing unacceptable behavior. Locked wards, other forms o f Isolation and various other m easures th a t tea ch clients th a t there are con se­ quences to pay for assaultive behavior have been successful at several institutions. But as far as adversive stim uli, as Dr. Barton said, “From th a t to torture Is such a fine line, it’s best n o t to even embark in th a t direction.” N e x t: W orker R ig h ts 0 w **3 3. a 83 X 1 g A eonoentration of adoles­ cent clients in a ward can create prob­ lems.

W ith th e exception of de­ ductibles and co-insurance, there will be no out-of-pocket costs to members. The dentist has also accept­ ed a n aggregate family deduc­ tible of $150. M i l l i o n V ic t im s Is yoitf grandfather acting strange? If he is, he m ight have it. Your teen-age son or daughter m ight also have it. It shows no respect for age or social status. Who knows? Even you m ight have it. Anyone can catch it—as, evidenced by th e fact th a t a new case occurs every 11 seconds, totaling over 3 million victims every year. Nobody Is immune. Should you be concerned? Yes, if you are sexualljr active and would like to stay th a t way. In fact, th e more active you have been, the greater the chances o | catching veneral disease are. VD is so widespread th a t it ranks only second to the common cold. Veneral disease is a serious problem. Left u n ­ treated, it cripples, paralyzes, sterilizes, blinds and kills. The im portant thing for all of us is to know th a t it can be treated m ost effectively. Most counties in New York S tate have free VD clinics th a t anyone of any age can visit to receive confidential treatm ent. To find th e location of the nearest VD clinic, you can use the foUowing toll-free num ber: 1-800-523-1885. Your caU wUl be treated confidentially and you will not be asked to give your name. Tlie following VD facts will possibly help someone to make a n im porant decision: • G onorrhea is the most common veneral disease. Infection is widespread. • Some people think syphilis and gonorrhea are th e same dis­ ease. They a re n ’t. You can. however, have both a t th e sam e time. • Gonorrhea symptoms usually appear in men w ithin a week or two after infection—a discharge from the penis or a painful urination. Women m ay have no noticeable symptoms. O ften th e only way men and women learn they have a n infection is when th eir p artn ers w arn them. • U ntreated gonorrhea can cause sterility, gonoccoccal arthritis, and pelvic inflam ation. It can also cause abnormal pregnancy. A child born to an infected woman may become bUnd afte r birth. • Syphilis can be as deceptive as gonorrhea. Men m ay notice symptoms in the first stage—an open, painless sore called a chancre. With women, or male homosexuals, the chancre m ay be Internal and may go unnoticed because it is painless. • The symptoms of the second stage of syphilis m ay also go unnoticed, or be attrib u ted to another cause. Symptoms may include a general body rash, a rash on the hands or feet, or a rash on the genitals. • In time, the noticeable symptoms of syphilis will heal, but th e disease stays on. Eventually, syphilis causes crippling, blinding, h ea rt disease, or insanity. I t Is also possible for a pregnant woman w ith syphilis to infect her in fan t before birth. The best advise is to know how to avoid VD. You can become a sexual isloate. If th a t’s not appealing, there is a b etter way. If interested, contact your local, county, or state health departm ent. S H O R T T A K E S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GUIDELINES UNCONSTITUTIONAL? The Equal Employment O pportunity Commission’s proposed guidelines for affirm ative action employment programs are uncon­ stitutional and unlawful and should be withdrawn, according to the A nti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. In a letter to EEOC chair­ person Eleanor Holmes Norton, the league said the guidelines con­ travene the 1964 Civil Rights Act and th e due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution by effectively barring “reverse discrim ination” victims from seeking relief. ADL said it shares "EEOC’s perception th a t racial, religious and sex groups are still excluded from areas of American enterprise,” b at the proposals are “a step in the wrong direction.” e • e VETERAN'S PREFERENCE UPHELD The New Jersey Suprem e Court has upheld New Jersey’s policy of giving veterans absolute preference in obtaining civil service Jobs. R uth Ballou of South Orange, an employee of the D epartm ent of Community Affairs,challenged the system.She scored 99.999 in a civil service test for a better Job, b ut a veteran with a score of 82.500 was given th e post. e e • HARENBERG FILES 'DUMPING' BILL Assemblyman Paul Harenberg (D-Bayport) has introduced a bill to “prevent referrals of dis­ charged m ental patients into communities where an overabun­ dance of such persons already reside.” * “Nearly 3,000 form er m ental patients have been placed in IsUp Town since 1968 by the S tate D epartm ent of M ental Hygiene,” according to Isllp Supervisor P eter Cohalan.#M r. Harenberg’s F ifth Assembly D istrict licfls com­ pletely within Isllp. The bill would prevent th e Office of M ental H ealth from referring a form er m ental patient to housing in a n impacted area. The bill would force OMH to con­ sider th e cfMnmunities into which they place form er patients. n < P cn n PS < s > a M PS al cr e {S Cl -4 09 cs 00 K R E A L E ST A T E V A L U E S Help Wanted M/F Help Wanted M/F Publisher's Notice: All real estate advertised In this newspaper issubject to the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1S68 which noakes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limiUtion, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, or an intention to make, any such preference, limitation or discrimination."

MAiraATTAN — One hundred and fifty of New York City’s 675 probation officers applied for postal Jobs last week a t M an­ h a tta n ’s G eneral Post Office to protest th eir probation officer salaries. State Scfnator Sheldon Farber. (R.C.-Queens) Joined the protest, staged by members of th e n ^ l y formed United Probation Officers (UFO) union. They applied for postal clerk-carrler positions, which sta rt a t $13,604. Probation officers s ta rt a t $11,970 a year. Officials of UPO, one of two unions vying to represent tht? city’s probation officers, say pro­ bation officer applicants must have a bachelor’s degree, spec­ ialized training and two years' experience whllg there are no eligibility requirem ents for the higher paying* postal positions. The new union came into ex­ istence last N ovem b^ when Local 599 of the Service Employee In tem atlo n al Union (SEIU) moved to disaffiliate Itself from the SEIU.
